Sydney White, 27, went viral on social media after sharing images of her eye with a splinter lodged in it. The incident occurred more than 10 years ago at Harry Potter World when she was still a teenager.
“I was walking around with my family when the guide pointed to some construction work on the building,” the TikToker told the website “What’s The Jam.”
Sydney explained that she looked up and felt “intense” pain in her left eye. She said it took several weeks for the redness to go away. “I saw that it was a small splinter that had fallen into my eyeball.”
Her recent story has gained over 422,000 views. Sydney said she still feels some slight discomfort in the area, but no ophthalmologist has asked her to remove the splinter. She claimed that removing it could damage her vision.
“Girl, that’s your magic wand,” joked one of the users in the comments on the video.
